The blacksmith's shop Wettig was a blacksmith workshop from 1776 onwards. The workshop, along with its furnishings and tools, is still preserved in its original condition from 200 years ago. The barn provides space for exhibitions, music, literature, and themed evenings. The cultural forge and the art association Glockwerks Lichte Kunstprojekte e.V. offer a varied cultural program throughout the year.
The Julianenbrunnen, popularly known as the Giljebrunne, is a 400-year-old fountain in the center of the Guntersblum Kellerweg, which is famous for its great wine festival. The building is now considered a cultural monument. Unfortunately, the exact age of the Julianenbrunnen is unknown. The first mention of a fountain at this location dates back to 1472, but the spring has probably been fortified for longer. The Julianenbrunnen was first officially documented in 1608.

Parts of a pitch nose and key embrasures have been preserved, as have the deep mortises of the former wooden gate wings.
The cult of Mithras was brought to Mainz by Roman legionaries in the 2nd century AD: it competed strongly with the rising Christianity, as both religions shared some similarities. The cultic meeting places, the so-called Mithraea, were situated underground and consisted of elongated vaults with a Mithras altar at one end. The vault was painted as a starry sky. The followers of the cult therefore only seemed to descend underground; they actually gathered under the canopy of heaven. The well-preserved altar is made of Odenwald marble. Its…
The ruins of the late medieval roadblock are located on a dirt path along an old road from Mainz to Bad Kreuznach, next to the remains of the former mill, southwest of the village on the right bank of the Selz, and marked as a border station the entrance to the "Ingelheimer Reich." The name originates from the former ownership of the St. Ursula Abbey in Cologne in the Selz Valley and is linked to the legend of the 11,000 virgins who allegedly passed through here in the company of the saints on their way back from a pilgrimage to Rome, only to…
Since 1885, the Theodor-Heuss-Brücke has spanned the Rhine between Mainz and Kastel. Its distinctive steel arch construction is one of the defining landmarks of the city and remains one of the most important connections across the river – for both vehicle traffic as well as for cyclists, joggers, and walkers. Built in close proximity to historical Rhine crossings – including the Roman bridge and the Electoral prince's ferry bridge – it links to a long history of cross-border connection. Even early on, it was more than…
